   Fixed in contraZH by triatomic/contraZH@e9afe6ac5.

   Cause: since #1528 the drawable keeps a persistent PhysicsXformInfo. calcPhysicsXformWheels returns early when the unit is significantly above terrain, which deep water counts as, without writing pitch or roll, so the last ground tilt sticks. Retail built a zeroed info every frame and drew the unit level. The Centurion's land and water locomotors are both FOUR_WHEELS, so nothing resets the transform on the switch.
